Calculate exposures on demand in near-real time across risk types.

Assess firmwide risk exposure intraday or in near-real time across all risk types – market, credit and liquidity. Our powerful risk engine technology runs risk calculations and aggregates results over an in-memory grid. The software can handle complex calculations very quickly and store large volumes of results so you can investigate risk information using on-demand hierarchies in near real-time. With fast, precise answers to questions about current and potential P&Ls, cash flows and risk exposures, you can make timely, well-informed decisions related to your portfolios – even in highly volatile and stressed environments.
